Like you, I like to buy used cars. I’ve been tinkering with cars and motorcycles since I was 13, and I have the knack for picking a good one. This skill serves me well. Two of my cars are ‘02 and ‘04 and will easily last another ten years. You cannot do this with an EV. What you are buying is largely a battery, with a defined useful life. This will force me and everyone else to come into line and buy new only. Gone will be the days when you can find a bargain.

Companies are already offering cars with lifetime warranties.
Experts are talking about batteries so good that ‘used batteries’ could be put into new cars.
